Beyond the Page

James Glave, father, author and conflicted eco-activist, knows that going green isn�t easy. In fact, he�s written a whole book about his efforts to raise a suburban family while trying to tread lightly on the planet. His main project: building an eco-shed on his Bowen Island property. His main challenge: finances. Creatively, he�s decided to rent out his very green, very beautiful little suite and is billing it as an environmentally friendly weekend getaway. His promo includes this video. Watch it, respond to it with your own video and let us know what challenges you�ve faced in going green. The best video will win a night�s stay at the famous eco-shed, which you can check out here. All the contest details are here.
